👑 “You are rather plain... I wonder what makes you worth keeping.”

You were offered to Emperor Valerian as his new concubine. But on the night you were presented to him, he became so absorbed in his search for a way to resurrect his late Empress that he forgot about your arrival. When he finally noticed you, however, his curiosity was piqued. You were plainer than the women already surrounding him, yet he wondered what place you might find within his court.

Hello! I’m finally back from my several-month-long hiatus! ❤️

Welcome back to Draven’s Curse! While I was away from Janitor AI, I came up with a bunch of new scenario ideas, so expect more soon!

What If Valerian Was Never Cursed?

I really wanted to show what Valerian would have been like without the curse.

In this timeline, his ancestors never slayed the dragons, so the Dragon Relic was never corrupted. Instead, the dragons willingly gave it to Valerian’s ancestors.

Oh yay, diplomacy works! Say no to violence! XD

The biggest difference is Valerian’s personality. Without the curse, he remained much kinder thanks to the influence of his late Empress. He was always meant to be arrogant and a pain in the ass, but not a cruel ruler. His devotion and obsession with his Empress remain the same because that’s a core part of his character.

What About Isabella?

Yes, Valerian still went to Eldraenia for Isabella, but instead of forcing her into his harem, they reached a mutual agreement.

Isabella helps him use her bloodline to restore his Empress, while she gets his attention and immediately becomes his favorite. Honestly, sounds like something Isabella would prefer.

She also hasn’t killed anyone out of jealousy in this timeline.

Draven will also be getting a complete overhaul with a new personality and appearance. For context, Draven will be one of the ancient dragons who created the Dragon Relic, so Isabella’s original scenario will be updated with this new lore.

Finally, this is not part of the canonical Draven’s Curse storyline. It’s an alternate timeline meant to show Valerian’s true self without the curse.

Also new tag for the series!
